Department 14 — Fruits and Nuts

CONTACT: Ralph Moyer | Phone: 570-922-4869

In selecting fruit for exhibition, choose specimens that would bring the highest market price. Do not select the largest. Select medium size. In plate displays, select five specimens as nearly alike as possible.

The following criteria is to be used as a basis for judging of exhibits: exterior quality — size, uniformity of color, uniformity of shape, shell texture, condition. Interior quality — one specimen will be cut.

Premiums will be awarded only when the exhibit complies with the standard, is meritorious, and properly named.

All entries must be raised and owned by exhibitor.

Only one entry per family may be entered in each class.
